aaa cjm, and yet, and yet, their lies are so good that they have corroded pretty big holes in our noble hull.
The tenor of the Russian press is more strident than I’ve seen since mid-seventies.
Here’s a lovely tidbit —

http://www.inforos.ru/?id=21830

Saakashvili+NATO+USA = genocide and war.
* the bloody adventure Georgia started at the US (in particular Cheney and Rice) orders and with US training, intelligence etc. in order to a) compel Europe to agree to include Georgia into NATO and b) propel McCain to presidency, c) discredit Russia as an agressor etc.
* Western MSM are covering the crisis with a well prepared propaganda campaign, another evidence that the whole thing was planned; western lawyer Saakashvili gets plenty air time etc.
* Shows the real face of the regimes in Ukraine, Baltics and Poland supporting this partner of theirs in “blockade” of Russia, with Ukraine Yushchenko particularly bad news, supplying ground-to-air rockets, playing games with Black Sea Fleet etc.
* Russian voices of opposition to war are likened to bolsheviks of 1914 (!) who gave up huge chunks of motherland to the aggressor.
* end with “it is naive to suppose that the US or NATO can be ever talked into respecting Russian interests, they can be only forced to do so”. And a call to look for new allies at the Shanghai Organization for Cooperation (wtf is that?).
Nicely weaved eh?
